The "Housy - Water for Africa" effort is a service program in the educational setting of our 9-12 public high school. Its goal is to raise funds for the purchase and distribution of LifeStraws (www.lifestraw.com) and other water purification systems to those in need of fresh drinking water across drought-ravaged sections of the African continent.
